Our Mission

Support our mission by creating your own fundraiser.

Back in 2008, Imagine Syracuse began teaching music, dance and art to a handful of kids living in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Syracuse, NY. Today, we reach more than 300 children across the city and join Syracuse University's Near Westside Initiative to help artistically revitalize this culturally rich and vibrant neighborhood!

The Imagine Syracuse's Young Musician Project (iSYMP) is our most exciting program yet and is literally putting Syracuse on the international musical map! Inspired by Venezuela's El Sistema, iSYMP joins a groundbreaking global movement in music education that uses DAILY classical orchestral music training and enrichment to strengthen inner city education and help children as young as 5 become musicians, build better lives and grow healthier communities.

Daily music education is the key. Think of it like this: a high school soccer player practices every day after school with her team, building skills, teamwork and commitment. Teach music the same way and a kid can play the violin as if she'd been taking weekly private lessons for a year and a half! Our students become productive and committed musicians creating music that transcends themselves and their problems.

YOUR $50 DONATION PAYS FOR ONE CLASS IN VIOLIN, CELLO, VIOLA, OBOE, TROMBONE, TRUMPET OR FLUTE FOR UP TO 15 CHILDREN! PLEASE DONATE AND KEEP THE MUSIC PLAYING!

IN PROGRESS

It will take anywhere from 3 seconds to 1 minute for your pic to upload, depending on how big it is.

You're going to see this message every time you post a new pic. So, we're making the text really long so that it'll take you at least five picture uploads to read it all. Here's what we're thinking...While your first picture is uploading think about someone you want to kiss. When you upload your second pic think about one friend who you can beat in a race. On your third photo upload think about your favorite food that begins with the letter H. While your fourth picture is uploading think about how great it would be if you were a world class breakdancer. While your fifth picture is uploading try to think of the best candy to eat if you were a mime spending a month in New Zealand. If you upload a sixth and seventh picture please just read all of this again.
